Above the Heavenly River two enormous funnel-shaped pillars of light took shape!
The two pillars of light locked together, joined, and again a terrible tremor came. Around the altar, countless Heavenly Artisans raised a shout that shook the heavens: "The bridge is open!
The bridge is open! " On the tower ship, Demon King Dutian stared, dumbstruck, and could only marvel at the Heaven Alliance's magnificent power. He muttered, "The Heaven Alliance really is filthy rich.
. . " Shen Mu and Divine Emperor Langxuan saluted Shi Qiluo from afar, and then the fleet set out, sailing into the grand spirit-energy translocation bridge.
When the fleet emerged from the spirit-energy translocation bridge, Shen Mu saw that the other altar had been built in the Ancestral Court, not far from the Primordial Jade Pool.
One after another the tower ships slowed and headed for the Jade Pool. On the way, a tower ship slowly descended and sank among a dozen or so divine mountains.
That tower ship settled among the divine mountains as though a splendid divine city had sprung up among them, and from the city hundreds of thousands of people came out to look over their new home. Before long another tower ship came down, landing by the bank of a great river.
All along the way the tower ships kept descending. A migration like this truly opened one's eyes.
Shen Mu's eyes flickered. He took out the Moon Celestial Venerable's lantern and gave it to Demon King Dutian, then took out the jade bottle and gave that to him too.
With a stir of his divine consciousness he conveyed to him the geography of the Hundred Thousand Black Mountains of Great Black Wood, and said, "Go on to Dutian, and let our Jingping people come out and move about a little. " Demon King Dutian assented, and with the jade bottle and the lantern on a pole he flew swiftly away.
Divine Emperor Langxuan smiled. "A little bottle like that, how many people can it hold?
" Shen Mu smiled and gave no answer. Two days later, Demon King Dutian arrived at the Hundred Thousand Black Mountains, travel-worn, and sought out Yan'er. "The Sect Master sent me with the Gourd Heaven Bottle, to migrate the people of Jingping.
" Yan'er was startled and blurted, "You carried a whole great myriad heaven to migrate Jingping's people?
You packed several billion people of Jingping in there?
" Demon King Dutian shook his head hurriedly. "How could that be? The Sect Master gave only one month. The Emperor barely had time to load three hundred million people, that is, the people of a few hundred divine cities.
" Yan'er was speechless.
"Let the people out, but not all at once.
Our Hundred Thousand Sacred Mountains are many, but they cannot take in so many at one time.
" Dutian laughed. "The rest can live in the Gourd Heaven Bottle for the time being.
This bottle can hold ten billion people without strain. "
